I started using Pulse in my forecourt shop in July 2016. Within weeks I was so impressed with the results that I had it ordered it for my other two stores.

It’s an essential management tool, one we use everyday. Pulse has produced tangible benefits in terms of waste control and stock management. One of our stores saw a 70% reduction in waste following installation.

Here’s What Our Customers Are Saying

“MarketHub has been an absolute revelation to our business. We have been forced to compete on the basis of product discounts and promotions so we knew the only way to grow was to understand exactly where we could optimise our business.

In 7 weeks we reduced waste and overrides by 31%, and increased profit by 2.6%. We’ve now currently rolled Pulse out across 6 store, have signed on for 2 more stores and use it as the driver of change in Roadchef.”

Mark Rogers

Head of Grocery, Road Chef

“MarketHub is a huge part of what makes us different. It has helped reduced wastage at our Hackney SPAR store to below 2% and at the same time it has helped us increase our store margin to in excess of 30% GP.

MarketHub identifies any products that are taking over 12 weeks to sell, then we can we reduce these and put a new product in its place.”

James Brundle

Director, SPAR, Eat 17
